+ ;; Instead of querying the daemon directly, this part of CUPS assumes
+ ;; that (1) it has access to a cupsd.conf under CUPS_SERVERROOT, and
+ ;; (2) the file's contents apply to the running daemon. (1) is false
+ ;; at least on Guix Systems resulting in extremely long delays when
+ ;; loading the Web interface's /admin page. (2) isn't valid anywhere
+ ;; because it ignores, e.g., -c FILE.
+ ;; Upstream considers this code on ‘life support’ so just neuter it.
